2 of 3 identified in Little Village slayings

Police have no suspects, but think victims knew shooter

LITTLE VILLAGE — Authorities Friday identified two of the three people found shot to death inside a suspected drug house this week in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood.

The identities of Gloria Gonzales, 58, and Marcos Valencia, 47, were confirmed by family members Thursday, the day after they were found slain in the 2800 block of South Kildare Avenue, a Cook County medical examiner's office spokesman said.

The identity of the third victim, a man in his 30s, was not available, the spokesman said. All three victims were found about 6:40 a.m. Wednesday by a neighbor, police said.

Police think the killings are drug-related. They found money counters, plastic bags and scales in the home, sources said.
